If the 3D-ish avatar or personal icon of Second Life turns you off for being to juvenile, your best bet for creating your own interactive profile might be mEgo’s interactive portable profile which you can use in your various social networking profiles. But why would you create an interactive profile anyways? We couldn’t really think of a better reason than to make your social networking activities more fun.

What’s good about mEgo aside from letting you create an interactive portable profile for yourself is the fact that you can use this profile across the web.

mEgo also lets you incorporate your favorite feeds, content and utilities from various sites that it supports, including YouTube, Twitter, Flickr, Amazon.com, Facebook, MySpace and Hi5. For Facebook, MySpace and Hi5, mEgo lets you integrate your friends, notes and news into your mEgo profile. You can either update your stuff on these social networking sites through mEgo, or update your mEgo profile through these sites.

Your mEgo profile is composed of two parts; the physical body and background and the content that you associate with your mEgo profile. Your different body parts correspond to hotspots which signifies various customizable contents that you associate with your mEgo profile. An example would be your profile’s head to represent essential contents, stomach for food and drink information, and so and so forth. In a way, these hotspots or what mEgo calls as pods are what makes mEgo unique and interactive.
